So far the goblins haven’t gotten me, even though I’m without Iggy to protect me on Halloween.

Perhaps my moose hat, my most valuable souvenir of an Alaskan cruise, has scared them off. My moose received its warmest compliment from a little girl who said her mother nicknamed her Moose. “Yes, that’s because she weighed 10 pounds when she was born,” chimed in mom. The little girl also liked the pig adorning the welcome sign on our door. That fact should warm Iggy’s heart.

I didn’t get my first customer until almost 6:30 p.m. Traffic was heaviest after 7. I turned off the lights at 8.

Three bags of candy was way too much. One 25-oz. bag would have been plenty.
